The Konica Revio of 1998 was Konica's compact camera for APS (Advanced Photo System) film, a very small metal-bodied zoom point-and-shoot that later lent its name to a whole family including the Revio Z2 and Revio CL. This record covers the original model badged simply Revio.
It carries a 24-48mm 2x zoom lens for APS film cartridges, autofocus, electronic exposure control and a built-in flash. A rear panel with a small LCD and several controls manages APS print formats and features such as programmable message imprinting onto the negatives, and a small mirror on the body helps frame self-portraits.
It appeals today mainly to collectors and lomography shooters drawn to APS-era design; the metal shell is unusually well made for a late-1990s point-and-shoot, and the self-portrait mirror was ahead of its time. As a practical camera it is limited entirely by its discontinued film format.
APS film production ended in 2011, so shooting one means expired stock at rising prices with unpredictable colour — many Revios sell as display or collection pieces. If shooting is the aim, confirm the camera powers up on a fresh battery, the flash charges and the APS cartridge door mechanism cycles correctly.
